Nothing? Again?

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

We are now 33 days away from Vanderbilt football’s August 27 season opener at Hawaii. 33 for the Commodores is Richie Hoskins, a sophomore wide receiver who has neither a picture nor a biography on the team website. I am almost certain he’s a walk-on.

There is no news today, so let’s just celebrate something that dropped on Friday but that we hadn’t gotten around to posting about, mostly because I slept through the Anchor Drop on Saturday: Tennessee’s Notice of Allegations from the NCAA.

Somehow, Tennessee avoided lack of institutional control and the NCAA praised their “exemplary cooperation,” because remember: this was all an exercise to get out of Jeremy Pruitt’s buyout.
